Dropped over to Dakota on Saturday (I promise we'll be out a whole lot more
after December 3rd, when I return to Max Moose full time). Not a bad night on

Just realised I hadn't reviewed the Saturday night beach party at Dakota the
other week... It was a very big night. Dakota has been on fire for several
months now, and is a great night out.
Commercial favourites in the main room, and housey stuff in the side bar. Good
music! They've added a cage alongside the DJ booth, which locks away the show-
offs. The spa was entertaining for some. The pics are on the photos page.
It really is a good night out. They have a quality entertainment lineup and the
right attitude. Check it out some Saturday soon. Max Moose, MaxMoose, Thu Sep 15 03:50:08 2005Saturday @ Dakota, Club

Headed over to Dakota on Saturday. Another big night there. That place is on a
roll, with both rooms working nicely.
Pean has a couple of new members. They sounded okay, and I'm assured they are
easy on the eye.
Again, we'll post the pics just as soon as we can.
I have to say, I love it when I walk into a club, that feels like a club, that
has the atmosphere and spirit to boot. Most of the places I've been lately have
had that. Its much better than a bar. Max Moose, MaxMoose, Thu Jun 9 09:26:18 2005Saturday @ Dakota, Club11.06: Win a snowboard

Massive crowd at Dakota. They could not have jammed another person in. I've seen
it busy there before, but nothing like this.
The atmosphere in the place was simply unbelievable. People were jumping around
in both the main room and the side room.
Pean and Alby kept the fire stoked in the main room with top 40 and RnB. The
house DJ in the side room had it going. That room is really working now.
Dakota is going great on a Saturday right now. If you're out that way, its worth
a look. Max Moose, MaxMoose, Fri Apr 22 05:44:17 2005Friday @ Rumours08.04: Pean come to Friday

I just thought I'd drop a quick line after going to the Hallam on Sunday night (Labour Day long weekend). I haven't seen Pean for a while, even though they have always been one of the best coverbands around.

The line up has changed. Rob, the bass player from Crazy Haus and Matt, guitar slinger from Kartoon, have joined Steve, who is still Melbourne's best front-man.

There would have been 1000 people at the Hallam and from the first tune the whole place was ready to party. I was forced to go home at 3am but I didn't wanna leave - it was a huge night and Pean rocked big time.

Rick Williams

Saturday, October 28, ‘00

Pean have finally announced their new line up. The focus is still on the original stuff (they've just picked up a regular gig as 200db for Wednesdays), but they have just learnt a bunch of new cover songs, and still sound spectacular!

New line up:

Steve Simmons - vocals and just about any instrument he can get his hands on
Mark Booma - guitar/vocals
Dale McMahon - bass/vocals - formally of Plush
James Bunny - drums - formally of Kartoon and Freeze

This band now has some of the best in the business, so it shouldn't be too long until their original stuff takes off!

Jenni Wallace

Saturday, October 7, ‘00

We saw Pean at the Rock nightclub Saturday October 7th, for their first gig there. Medium sized crowd but with the atmosphere Pean create, I'm sure the number of people at this gig will increase.

Pean are a young group of guys, very energetic and have heaps of fun on stage and off. They believe in crowd participation and this shows at all of their gigs. Not only are they are great band but I've known them for three years and are great friends. So, for a great night out see Pean. Check gig guides (or MAX MOOSE) for all their gigs and watch out for their original band, 200db.

Harry Carter

Saturday, September 2, ‘00

Well as most people have heard Toby the bass player has left Pean to play with Freeze. At the moment Pean has a fill in bass player named Mark (that makes 2 Marks in the band and plenty of confusion!)

They've lost none of their energy and are still one of the top cover bands in Melbourne in terms of putting on a good show, and staying true to the songs.

Pean have cut back on their gigs as they want to focus on their original music. So look out for them as 200db coming to a great venue near you soon!

Jenni Wallace

Saturday, May 20, ‘00

Just an update on what is happening to Pean.

They are not splitting up, going down or being kicked from any clubs! Steve is off to join Mark in Europe for 6 weeks. They are playing their last gigs for a while in the weekend of the 18 June. They will be back at the start of August. You can check out their webpage for dates and venues.

Jenni Wallace

Saturday, April 29, ‘00

Pean are a wonderfully energetic band that will wear you out with their fantastic vibe. They play a great range of covers with the occasional original thrown in. Most famous are the "Pean Retro Medley", a collection of old faves from the 80's, the Green Day Medley the Live medley and the Faith No More Medley. Their sets cover just about anything, a great mix of popular (though not to commercial) tunes and grunge/alternative.

They combine their brilliant musical skills (just check out how many instruments lead singer Steve can actually play, add that to his wonderful vocal skills) with some marvellous silliness such as choreographed dancing, mask wearing and crowd involvement.

Pean are well worth checking out. They play a great deal of fantastic music and will keep you entertained with their onstage antics.

Fenella Hansen
They also write their own music under the name 200 db and if you're very lucky they may play one of their songs! 200db has started playing a full original set and a short cover set (as Pean) on some Wednesdays at the Mercury Lounge - well worth a visit they're onstage at 10pm.

They're a fun band to go see, Steve is constantly running around, the guitarists are always jumping, they play around on stage, dress up in masks and hats and things and do the 'Pean Dance'. All members sing, including the drummer and everyone has a good time!
